Abdurahman Qubati the Director of the Project for Rehabilitating Children Formerly Recruited or Otherwise Affected by the conflict told Saba said a plan is in place to rehabilitate nearly 2000 affected children in sessions sponsored by King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSreleif) in Mari, Aden and Hodeidah after Eid al-Adhaha. The Project is conducted by Wethaq Foundation for Civil Orientation (WCO) and KSrelief .

WCO has found that the Houthi rebel militia recruited more than 4,000 child fighters over the past three years, Qubati said.
